So THOSE were the kick lights! Im amazed... That signal in the foreground was controlled by the conductors/switchmen for switching- the control was on the walkway bridge above the 'swamp' tracks the BN whipped out. Before portable radios, they would relay signals from the walkway bridge to that signal! I never saw it before!
